A abordagem multiprofissional na atenção à cárie precoce da infância: atuação da equipe de saúde da família

Abstract

Early childhood caries (ECC) is considered a serious public health problem. The attention directed to this disease encompasses a set of actions involving the skills acquired by the team involved. This study sought through a literature review, assessing the role of the Family Health Team in relation to child oral health practices, specifically coping with the ECC. Through the knowledge gained from this literature review found that the joint venture approach tends to optimize efforts and may help reduce cases of early childhood caries. This approach comes from work done by the Family Health Team, which seeks to promote the health of the child. After all, oral health must be considered part of the overall health of people. The professional education and training corroborate all this constant process of comprehensive care, promoting the improvement of quality of life.
